I would never write (or think) that Chris Holtmann made a mistake leaving Butler University to become the head basketball coach at Ohio State. But it’s a move I would not have made because being paid a staggering amount of money to coach basketball would be enough. I would not see greater value in being […]
by Kent Sterling Unhappily lost in a maze of perplexing classes and crowded parties, I got very lucky on August 30, 1984, when an almost always smiling force of nature danced into my life. At a party in Walnut Knolls apartment D-19, college students were doing a lot of what college students normally do on […]
by Kent Sterling At New Albany High School in extreme southern Indiana, they were very proud to be the home of America’s first high school radio station, and I couldn’t wait until my junior year so I could be a part of it. Sophomores weren’t eligible for radio, so I waited my turn. Opening a […]

This week, there might be even more to talk about – the Pacers win last night that shouldn’t have been, Indiana’s continuing Season on the Brink II with a must win game against Illinois, and the continued […]
by Kent Sterling As much as I loathe those who parade around as though the rules of reason don’t apply to them, Justin Bieber’s arrest early this morning near South Beach in Miami served as a reminder that I wasn’t exactly perfect at 19 either. Society tends to look at young men like Bieber – an enabled […]
by Kent Sterling Every Saturday is special because Fox 59’s Chris Hagan and I get the chance to talk sports on 1070 the Fan and 107.5 FM, and we try to take full advantage of it by booking great guests and making sure we are ready to talk Colts, Pacers, Bulldogs, and Hoosiers. Today is […]
